Further than the Furthest Thing

‘What is it about that bloody place?
You, all of you
What the hell is it about all of you?
I let you under my skin
That is what it is
Like thousands of tiny pinpricks’

-

‘You were the strong one
Is no one ever blaming you,
You did what you had to do
You did what was the right thing.’

On a remote island in the middle of the Atlantic secrets are buried. When the outside world comes calling, intent on manipulation for political and economic reasons, the islanders find their own world blown apart from the inside as well as beyond. ‘Further than the Furthest Thing’ is a beautifully drawn story evoking the sadness and beauty of a civilisation in crisis.
